Tasting notes for the Riesling "Clos Sainte Hune" 2013 - Maison Trimbach (Magnum)
- EYE: The Riesling Clos Sainte Hune 2013, presented here in a majestic magnum, wears a crystal-clear, almost transparent yellow robe. Its vibrant brilliance is a sign of an exceptional gustatory experience.
- NOSE: This vintage unveils a complex olfactory bouquet. Whiffs of white flowers, zesty citrus, and ripe peaches fill the glass, taking us on a journey to discover the aromatic richness of the Alsace vineyards.
- MOUTH: Upon tasting, this Riesling reveals a perfectly mastered harmony between invigorating acidity and fruity sweetness. Flavors of juicy apricot, crisp green apple, and flint unfold, forming a balanced and refined gustatory symphony. The silky texture and the length in the mouth add a truly luxurious dimension to this experience.
In short: The Riesling Clos Sainte Hune 2013 from Trimbach pleased us with its finesse and elegance. A wine that embodies the very essence of the Alsace terroir, combining freshness, complexity, and purity. With its magnum format, this promising vintage can age gracefully for a good fifteen years, offering the most patient among us the opportunity to appreciate its subtle evolution over time. To accompany it, opt for a delicate seafood platter, an Alsatian tarte flambée, a wild mushroom risotto, a warm goat cheese salad with walnuts, or even a roasted herb-infused poultry. You won't be disappointed.

Flagship wines of Alsace
Founded during the 17th century by Jean Trimbach, the Maison Trimbach is located in Ribeauvillé (Haut-Rhin region, on the Alsace Wine Route). The family owns over 40 hectares of vineyard, sprawling across a few villages such as Hunawihr, Bergheim or Mittelwihr. In this region, the limestone soil is perfect for Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Gewurztraminer, Sylvaner...
The Trimbach Family is known for taking great care of its vines, and nature in general. One of their most prestigious "cuvées" is the Clos Sainte Hune, dubbed "World's Best Riesling" according to Serge Dubs (World's Best Sommelier in 1989), created 200 years ago. It comes from a great growth monopole called the "Rosacker d'Hunawihr" (1,67 hectare), and only 8000 bottles of this very special Riesling can be produced each year.
